XXVII, X-258 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1949 No. 11 Hymes Meets Leaders Of Industry At Congress Hearing, meeting, and talking to some of the leading businessmen and industrialists of the country was one of the highlights of his attendance at the 54th Annual Congress of American Industry, according to Garland W. Hymes, BBA senior who returned Tuesday from the Congress held in New York City last week. Hymes, who represented Loyola and the State of Louisiana at the Congress, was guest of the National Association of Manufacturers along with 48 other college students, one from each state of the Union and the District of Columbia. Among the notable* Hyme* heard speak were Paul G. Hoffman, administrator, Economic Cooper ation Administration; Honorable Louis A. Johnson, Secretary of Defense; John L. . McCaffrey, president, Interna- Harvester Company; John W. Bricker, U. S. Senator from Ohio; Louis Bromfield, prominent author, and Hi* Excellency Ambassador Carlo* P. Romulo, president of the United Nation* General Assembly,In addition to attending the scheduled meetings of the Congress, Hymes and the other students participated in a forum and panel discussion before the 3,000 other delegates entitled “Opportunity Unlimited,” which dealt with opportunity for youth in industry.Also on the program was a visit to the United Nations Assembly in which the students sat in on a regularly scheduled session, and a trip to the New York Curb Exchange, where the students were allowed to go out on the floor of the exchange, and actually watch the involved operations and ask questions, Hymes said. One of the most impressive thing* at the Congress, Ke said, was that the top men in business and industry not only seemed anxious to meet the student delegates like himself but to talk to them, to find out what the students of America were doing and thinking, and Dangers Of Six Month Trip Told By French Scouts Four French boy scouts, who recently retraced the Mississippi water route taken by Father Jacques Marquette in the seventeenth century, visited Loyola last Monday, and were presented a plaque by the Very Rev. Thomas J. Shields, S.J., president of the University. The scouts, Jean Raspail, Philipe Andrieu, Yves Korbendau, and Jacques Bouchaslat, made the trip in two canoes from the St. Lawrence River, through Lakes Huron aAnd Michigan, the Wisconsin Riv- H,- and down the Mississippi to New Orleans. Before an assembly of students in Marquette Auditorium at 11 a. m., Mr. Lionel Vasse, Consul General of France in New Orleans, introduced the four scouts. After a welcoming address by Fr. Shields, Bouchaslat, cameraman and lecturer for the group, showed color slides of scenes which highlighted the journey. He gave, in English, a detailed account of "the most interesting phases of the trip." The journey by canoe, which took six months, was a hazardous one and involved many accidents, Raspail said. He told of eightfoot waves in the Great Lakes and of treacherous currents of the middle Mississippi. , The scouts were entertained by several members of Le Cercle Francais, who Bhowed them around the campus and accompanied them Monday afternoon on a tour of the studios of radio station WWL in the Roosevelt Hotel. The scouts are to remain in New Orleans for several days, Raspail said, and will make the trip back to Canada by automobile. All four are natives of Paris. Holidays Start Thurs.; Classes Resume Jan. 4 The Christmas holiday* will begin after the last scheduled classes Thursday, it was announced this week by the Rev. A. William Crandell, S.J., ricepresident of the University and dean of faculties. Classes will resume Wednesday, January 4, 1950, Fr. Crandell said. Loyola Fraternity To Give Orphans Christmas Party By BLANCHE MOULEDOUX Approximately 200 children will receive an early visit from Santa when Upsilon Beta Lambda, social fraternity, gives their first annual Christmas Party for orphans next Friday from 2 until 5:30 p. m. in Loyola's cafeteria. J«rry Johnston, chairman of the organizing committee, explained that ÜBL is celebrating its Silver Jubilee this year and decided to share the 26th anniversary festivities with some group less fortunate than itself. The idea for entertaining children was introduced, and the members voted unanimously to follow through with the plans. Invitations have been extended to children at Sacred Heart, Green Feather, and St. Elizabeth'! Orphanages, who.e superiors will provide guests under eight years of age. Members from other organizations and interested outsiders, as well as members of the ÜBL fraternity, are helping the cause by assisting in the sale of tickets. Johnson explained that donations of toys and food are relieving the expected cost of the party, so it will be possible to use the remaining funds to buy athletic equipment for boys in the Hope Haven Orphanage in Marrero. "These are of an older age, and no longer appreciate a 'Santa Claus' visit," Johnson added. Donations of toys, candy, cake, fruit, and nuts plus the all-important Christmas tree and decorations are being received from fraternity members and their families. Committees have been formed to handle the gifts. Chairmen of these groups are: Luke Sansovitch, toys; Paul Nacari, Joe Montalbano, and Joe Padua, fruit and nuts; A. J. Caprito, cake; Victor Marsiglia, candy. All other fraternity members are helping by their cooperation with these particular committeemen, Johnson said. "If results can be anticipated by the energy exerted by the total membership, the party should be an overwhelming success," Johnson concluded. Fr. Fichter To Give Talk At New York Convention "Leadership of Laymen in a Catholic Parish," is the title of an address to be given by the Rev. Joseph H. Fichter, S.J., chairman of the Sociology Department, at the 11th annual convention of the American Catholic Sociological Society to be held at Fordham University in New York City, December 27-29, it was announced this week. Fr. Fichter will report the findings of a special investigation he made regarding the leadership of lay Catholic men. His conclusions show that the successful functioning of men in parochial organizations depends on four conditions: the autonomy and initiative of the group, the status prestige of the leader, the function and goal of the organization, and the interests and abilities of the leaders themselves. Material for this paper is the result of an empirical study made of a large urban Catholic parish for almost two years. Fr. Fichter, along with a group of students from the sociology department, spent class and free time making an intensive survey of all activities and behavioral patterns which weie present in the parish during that time. "When you have a system of values which places athletics over spirituality and when leaders and people are both interested in them, then the Catholic parish will thrive on sports and the spiritual side of man's nature will be neglected," Fr. Fichter said. He also pointed out that present day Catholic men who are guiding our organizations are backed by cultural ideals and value systems rather than by the truly Catholic ideal of making the parish the center of Christ's life among His followers. Betides being chairman of the research committee of the society, Fr. Fichter is on the editorial board of its publication, "The American Catholic Sociological Review." While in New York, he will also attend the 44th annual convention of the American Sociological Society which is running concurrently and competingly with the Catholic meet. The research project of the urban Catholic parish which Fr. Fichter recently made was financed by a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. The compiled results will be published in a book entitled "Southern City Church" sometime during the spring, he announced this week. Loyola Receives Flag In Memory Of Grad A United States flag, in memory of John J. Stieffel, 1935 Loyola graduate, was presented to the University by his family. Stiffel was killed in action on Bohol Island, P. 1., April 17, 1945. The colors will fly over Thomas Hall, according to the Rev. S. H. Ray, S.J., student counselor. Christmas Message On behalf of the entire faculty, staff and officers of administration of Loyola University, I extend to each and every one of our students and to their families our very best wishes for a joyful Christmas season and for God's choicest blessings during the coming neio year. It is a tradition at Loyola to erect a replica of the Nativity in front of Marquette Hall. High above this setting shines the Christmas star and above that, emblazoned in neon lights, the words "Peace on Earth." There is much talk of world peace. The world, however, is a collection of individuals and, consequently, when each man, woman and child is at peace with God and fellow-man, the world will have the peace which comes to men of good will. If each individual gives glory to God in the highest, then indeed there will be peace on earth to men of good will. THOMAS J. SHIELDS, S.J. Loyola University, President. Film And Talk Given To Students In BA College Mr. Edgar A. Ducote, sales representative of the National Cash Register Company, recently presented a film discussing methods of developing employee morale and of training employees to the members of Mr. Henry J.

To the Students: I bumped into Iggy Loyola wading through the puddle between the Maroon office and Marquette Hall the other day and asked him if he would give a word of advice to the students before they plunge into those Christmas holidays. "Man, I don't know what anybody else is planning to do with those holidays," Iggy bellowed. "But, as for me man, I'm going to get so far ahead with my studies during those holidays, and be so bright come Jan. 4, that all my teachers probably will call me sun." tfeurJ tfcJe (See Industry Congress, p. 6) Next Maroon Issue January 13 Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

N. B. To the Students: I bumped into Iggy Loyola wading through the puddle between the Maroon office and Marquette Hall the other day and asked him if he would give a word of advice to the students before they plunge into those Christmas holidays. "Man, I don't know what anybody else is planning to do with those holidays," Iggy bellowed. "But, as for me man, I'm going to get so far ahead with my studies during those holidays, and be so bright come Jan. 4, that all my teachers probably will call me sun." tfeurJ tfcJe (See Industry Congress, p. 6) Next Maroon Issue January 13 Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
